About this task

To create new messages in the SWIFT Message Entry Workstation (Creator Role Task):

Procedure

  1. From the Administration menu, select Business Process > Message Entry Workstation.
  2. Under Create, next to New Message, click Go!.
    Note: The New Message option is displayed only if you have the Message Entry Create permission added to your user account.
  3. In the Select Message Name page, enter the following details, as required, and click Next:
    Field
    Description
    Message name
    The name of the SWIFT message. Required.
    Sender ID
    Identifier for the organization that is sending this SWIFT message. Optional.
    Note: The Sender ID value is required for some SWIFT messages since this value is used to perform validation against your data.
    Note: When you create a new message, your Sender ID value is populated by default with the value specified on the Configuration page.
    Receiver ID
    Identifier for the organization receiving this SWIFT message. Optional.
    Note: The Receiver ID value is required for some SWIFT messages since this value is used to perform validation against your data.
  4. In the Select Message Information page, enter the following details (as required), and click Next.
    Field
    Description
    Standard
    The standard required to create the SWIFT message.
    Standard Version
    The version of the standard required to create the message.
    Message Type
    The type of message being created.
  5. In the Confirm page, click Finish. This launches the SWIFT Editor to enable you to type the values in the required parameters to create the new SWIFT message.
    Note: Any data typed for the Optional Repetitive Group is displayed under the Added Groups section in the Confirmation page. To add an occurrence of a repeating field or group, click Add at the appropriate point in the message structure. To delete an occurrence of a field or group, click Delete where appropriate.
  6. In the SWIFT Editor page, click View Text if you want to access a plain text display of the message.
  7. In the SWIFT Editor page, the Validate function enables you to validate the message for SWIFT compliance so that you can avoid translation errors during enveloping.
  8. If any errors occur during validation, review the errors in the Validation Report (left side of the window), select each error link, and repair the error as necessary (repairing may include changing the content of the field, or adding or deleting fields).
    Note: If a SWIFT pass-through map generates the maximum number of translation errors on the input side of the map, it is possible that the output side of the map contains translation errors that are not reported since error processing stops once the maximum number of errors is reached. In this scenario, an error report is not displayed when the output message data is edited through the Message Entry Workstation and EDI Correlation Search, but the message has not been sent due to translation errors and no errors are displayed in the report for the Message Entry Workstation. So, to see validation errors for the output message data, click Validate once the message is loaded in the Message Entry Workstation. Then, you can make any necessary fixes and resend the message.
  9. You can either save the message for further edits by selecting the SAVE option or submit the message for review by selecting the MARK AS READY TO SEND option. When the action is completed successfully, you are prompted with the following message: “The system update completed successfully.” Once a message status is Ready to Send, the message can be reviewed by the Verifier.
  10. An e-mail alert is sent to the Verifier when the status of the message is changed from DRAFT to MARK AS READY TO SEND. The e-mail address of the Verifier is specified in the messageentryworkstation.properties.in property file. Any changes to this e-mail address can be done by editing the customer_overrides.properties file in the following format: messageentry.SWIFT.READY_TO_SEND.<username> = e-mail address of the verifier, where username is the user who marks the messages as MARK AS READY TO SEND.
    Note: If there is no e-mail address specified in the entry messageentry.SWIFT.READY_TO_SEND.<username> the system searches for the e-mail address specified in the entry messageentry.SWIFT.READY_TO_SEND.default. All ReadyToSend messages will be directed to this e-mail address. By default this is the e-mail address of the system administrator.
  11. After you click Finish in the Confirm page, you can click View Text to access an XML display of the message.
